As with any equipment which will be used in close proximity to sensitive areas of the body, it is essential that the ear pads and headband are kept clean. Use a damp cloth for cleaning using warm water only taking care not to allow any water drops into the ear cups or transducers.
If necessary, you can carefully remove the ear pads and headband pad and clean them with mild soapy water.
WARNING: Never use any solvent cleaning agents! Furthermore, the pads must be completely dry before they are attached to the headphone again.
Should it become necessary to replace the ear pads or the headband pad, refer to “Spares and Accessories”

Frequently Asked Questions
Will Dragonfly Red successfully push these?
Yes. These were purchased together with the Dragonfly Red, however I am unable to compare them to the Dragonfly Cobalt. I think the Red has more than enough power at this point to drive these.
How do these play for games? I already have the dt770 16 ohms, but for gaming I want a better-sounding pair of the 770s!
1770 is an extremely analytical year. I would love a fun signature with a V shape for gaming. The DT770-80 is my pick for gaming. They have a very different sound from the other 770s.
Do these prevent sound from getting out? In order to avoid disturbing my wife as she sleeps next to me, I’m seeking for phones that don’t leak sound. Thanks
Aside from when you are blasting it, yes. It’s a closed back headphone
Would these sound good with a 40 watt Logitech computer speaker amp?
Although I have used various models from each over the years, I believe that while logistic is OK, it cannot be compared to beyerdynamic.
Will these headphones work with my Bluewave Get?

Do these prevent sound from getting out? In order to avoid disturbing my wife as she sleeps next to me, I’m seeking for phones that don’t leak sound. Thanks
Aside from when you are blasting it, yes. It has a closed-back design.
Will the gain knob on my audio interface be sufficient if I plug these in, or will I “need” an amp to get the most out of these headphones?
Since they have a resistance of 250 ohms, an amplifier is crucial to maximising the performance of these headphones.
With the Audient ID-14 audio interface, are they able to reach their full potential?
Usually, I use my LG V30 to power these without any further amplification. If you look at the setup’s specifications, you ought to be happy with everything.
I also enjoy music a little, although my hearing is getting worse. Will they improve my ability to hear words and voices on video and audio calls?
Depending on what you’re connecting to, most definitely.
When travelling with a dt 1770, will listening at maximum volume cause the environment to be disturbed or will it be isolated inside the caps?
To be disruptive, you’d need to be playing at an extremely loud volume. But if complete isolation is what you need, a noise-canceling headset might be preferable. Even though there are probably greater background noise levels in the office than on a flight, I can listen to them at a relatively loud setting and no one else can hear them.
Can I use these to their fullest potential without a dac?
With many cell phones, for example, the DT 1770 are sensitive and play at a respectable volume without distortion.
